What does it mean when females stare back at you when you stare at them?

[Aldaris]

Usually when I stare a few different scenarios take place:

1. They try to ignore me and pretend to not notice
2. Stare back for a second, smile then look away
3. Stare back and not say anything

It’s the last one that confuses me bc I have no idea what they’re thinking. I usually break eye contact first cause I hate looking at people head on. I’m not able to decipher whether they’re mad, annoyed, curious, or whatever else.

The above refers to a neutral stare btw. Usually when I stare angrily at random women they look frightened or weirded out. But one time I did it and the woman looked like she was about to laugh(she was smiling).

Man, I wonder why that is.

Share with all your gal pals that it is because men are visually stimulated and find whoever they are staring at attractive. Tell all the millennials. Hahaha

This is what you women do not understand. Men are visual. This is also how dates happen. I see why so many of you young people are single. Your thinking patterns are so negative. Your generation truly sucks.

no, that's not how dates happen. in general it doesn't happen in the street but in different circumstances but ok..let say you see a girl that attracts your attention. it's normal to look at her, even more that once but staring for minutes is just weird. you wanna talk to her but you're not sure she likes you back? ok..look at her a few times maybe, make sure she sees you but don't stare insistantly with no face expression. smile at her if you see that she also looks back at you and if she smiles back then it means it's ok to appoch her if you like.

I've never seen a guy stare at a girl for minutes. I really see why you are single. Beautiful but a headcase.

Women stare a lot too. Its just that they do it to men they find attractive, which is a tiny number.

why are you staring at them angrily.

I think a neutral stare back is possibly because your looking at them neautrally or looking without a clear expression on your face.
They are simply watching you watching them and trying to determine what your expression could be.... they are poker facing you.

Often people will smile if they feel you are looking at them with a smile , some people smile out of nervousness, some might smile if they are interested.
Flirting looks from women can often be when they look and play with their hair or things like that , smile doesnt always mean flirting but it can ...everything depends on context.
